“The Radisson Blu in South Kensington occupies a Grade II listed building, giving it a historic feel, yet some find the amenities haven't kept pace. While the location is ideal for the Natural History Museum and Gloucester Road Tube, reports of inconsistent air conditioning and cramped rooms should be considered. The dining leans toward contemporary British cuisine, and the hotel's meeting spaces suit business needs.”
